Top of my personal horror list!

When I was in high school, I had a video recorder at home, and I had the right to use it during the holidays. That was enough. Basically, I rented three movies a day on average, and then I called friends and did all kinds of bad things during adolescence, you know.

The most impressive list, the top three are as follows:

1. "Top Gun", yes! It's Tom! handsome! Hot blood!
2. "Deer and Ding Ji", yes! It's the version of Master Xing, laughing so much that my brother rolls and vomits blood!
3. Then there is "The Langoliers", I believe not many people in China have seen it.

At that time, video tapes were slowly coming to an end, and VCDs were becoming popular, and DVDs had not yet set foot on the historical stage of the mainland. I was watching a videotape that the owner of the rental shop had dubbed from nowhere.

I have another version of the ranking list, ranking the most terrifying horror movies in my personal history:
1. "The Langoliers"
2. "Hypnosis"
3. The American version of "The Ring"

OK, what is "The Langoliers"? How about a god movie that can rank among the top three on the two lists and win the title of the horror list?

I do not know either.

Really, this movie I watched more than ten years ago, I haven't seen it for the second time, but the deep impression is unforgettable, and I still shudder when I think about it.
But there are almost no horror scenes and pictures in the film in any pure sense.
The entire film is almost a daily place without any special treatment. The interior of the plane, the airport and the waiting hall, which are brightly lit and without special sets and props, occupy more than 90% of the scenes in the whole film.
Then there's the rambling mid-shot character dialogue.

It's just that after watching it, the buddies didn't dare to go home to sleep, and that night, the two little boys shivered and slept in each other's arms.

How should I put it, if the people who watch the film have divergent thinking and rich imagination, and usually think about some ultimate questions about the universe, the world, time, etc., or are often confused by beliefs, religions, etc., then wait. Be horrified!

Finally, please watch this film in a quiet environment and experience the desperate experience of falling into the gap of time...

The Langoliers quotes

  • Bob Jenkins: Let's say that every now and then a hole appears in the stream of time. Not a time-warm. A rip. A time rip. A rip in the central fabric.

    Don Gaffney: That's the craziest thing I ever heard of!

    Craig Toomy: Amen!

    Bob Jenkins: Mr. Gaffney, the situation we're in right now, this is crazy. So let's say that such rips do occur every now and then. It would be similar to rare weather phenomenons that are reported. Upside-down tornadoes, circular rainbows, daytime starlight.

    Captain Brian Engle: The aurora borealis.

    Bob Jenkins: [Bob looks to Brian in surprise] What?

    Captain Brian Engle: There was an aurora borealis over the Mojavi Desert when we left LAX. We were supposed to fly right into it.

    Bob Jenkins: Then that's it. An auroa over the desert. That strengthens my point. If we were to fly into that, and it was a time-rip then that means we're no longer in our own time, ladies and gentlemen.

  • Don Gaffney: [listening to Jenkins' time rip theory] That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

    Craig Toomy: Amen!
